Brief Answer:
FNAC and relevant other investigations
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted your age and history well.
I would advise you the following in such a situation:
First of all, request for FNAC that is fine needle aspiration cytology. This will help to know the cause of not resolving lymph node swelling.
Biopsy if FNAC is not conclusive.
Relevant tests of blood.
This will give the definitive diagnosis so that the management will be specific and effective.
Also get an opinion of an ENT Surgeon.
I hope this answer helps you to get a proper diagnosis and management.
Please give feedback once FNAC report is available.
